A year ago
I was a cracked frame
Trying to walk over
The shards of glass
I'd so perfectly laid out for me

A month ago
I was leaving a hospital
For what I hoped was the last time
I threw away
All the pills and razor blades
I brought in light
And life

A week ago
I was content
There was still
A stinging numbness
In the back of my mind
But I worked through it
Everything turned out fine

Today
We had a lot of snow
But my school did not cancel
I nearly broke down in tears
I made my mother leave her office
To come pick me up
She cried
And screamed
And begged me to stop
She told me I was driving her insane

Things never change
Never expand
Never decrease
Never get better
